Effective Efforts to Prevent and Improve "May Disease" (5 Articles) - Let's get started! ~
1. Don't try too hard）
Don't push yourself too hard so that you don't get in the way the next day.
To do that, plan with plenty of room so you don't panic at the last minute.
2. “Yu” or bathing and enough sleep (relaxation)
Instead of taking a shower, soak yourself in the bath (warm bath effect + hydrostatic pressure effect), sing or sing (even if you are not good at it), and take a bath (relaxing effect).
Also, ensure that you get XNUMX hours of sleep, moderate your smartphone and games, and try to get a good night's sleep.
3. Balanced diet (Nourish the mind too!)
Eat plenty of vegetables while being careful not to take too much salt and calories.Especially if you live alone, your nutritional balance tends to be unbalanced, so try to eat dark-colored vegetables and fruits.
4. Lower the hurdle (reframing)
People who are prone to "May disease" have high ideals such as "I have to do this" and "I have to do this".Let's stop putting restrictions on our hearts and lower the hurdles of our ideal image, so let's change the frame to flexible thinking such as "Is this good enough?"
5. Try to be “alone” (recover the distance of the heart)
In a new society and human relationships, it is difficult to say that you don't like it, and you tend to act according to those around you.It is important to have the courage to turn down various invitations, maintain an appropriate distance from others, and create time for yourself to be "alone."
6. Walking of mind and body
The mind and body are connected and work together.Light exercise such as walking, trekking, and cycling (basically no mask required) is effective in liberating your mind.
It is also a good idea to take care of the UV rays and sunbathe (Asahi is recommended), look at the sea, feel the breath of life in the "solitary forest therapy", and surrender yourself to nature.
7. Indulge in what you love (fill your heart)
Once you've made time for yourself and calmed down, try doing something you love.In addition, while trying new things and things that you couldn't do before, let's breathe new breezes and fresh breezes into your heart.
8. Don't carry your worries alone (open your mind)
By accumulating mental worries, mental and physical stress will snowball.Stress is like "negative savings = debt", and if you can't repay the debt, it's a big deal. Let's melt the "snowman".
Talk to someone and get counseling.People who often listen to other people's troubles but find it difficult to talk about their own troubles with others should be careful.
